Question
I am looking for a name of a movie in the late 70's early eighties.  I beleive I saw it on HBO around 1983 or so when Stripes came out.  Anyway it is hard to remember all the facts, but it seemed as though some sea creatures almost sort of invaded a small beach town, raped the teen age girls, and towards the very end of the movie she is giving birth to one of the monsters offsprings.  for the life of me I can't remember the name, one of my co-workers says it is Xtro or something like that.  Please help me

Answer
Oh, Brent...

You made my day... the film you are looking for is one of the all-time horrendously bad movies EVER!!! It's called "Humanoids From the Deep," and it's one of Roger Corman's classics of schlock... nude babes, lots of fake blood, and, of course, Vic Morrow in a starring role...

Believe it or not, you can buy a copy on Amazon, but it's so collectible, it is going for $37.95 on DVD... I almost choked when I saw it... some copies are even selling for over $50!!! Even on Ebay, it's hitting $33... It's out of print (imagine that...), so if you want one, you better grab one while you can...

Hope this helps,

I am a devout fan of horror films, from the Universal classics to the schlock of the 50`s, on through the 70`s to the splatter era, and straight up to "28 Days Later." Tom Savini films are an extra treat. Ask me about "Knightriders" if you don`t believe me. Anyone else own a copy of that classic?
